A precision polished roof prism produces images that are right-side-up, left-to-right correct. In other words, things are not upside-down and backwards like most viewfinders. Our illuminated reticle is truly designed for finding objects with its open center (so you don’t mask the object you are centering with cross hairs) and scale markings for 1.5°, 3°, and 4.5° (the edge of the field of view is the 6° boundary). The 55° apparent field, 16mm long eye-relief eyepiece produces a bright 7mm exit pupil and will allow you to find faint galaxies, comets, and nebulae. All optics are EMD Coated to ensure maximum contrast. The illuminated reticle of the 8x50 Viewfinder with its scale markings and open center not only helps you center objects precisely, but gives a reference of the exact field of view in degrees. The deep red illumination is continuously variable to provide the desired brightness. Many customers tell us it is the best viewfinder\/finderscope they have ever used on their telescopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe long battery life illuminator uses two AAA batteries (batteries not included).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with the NEW\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca aria-label=\"Hybrid Finder Scope base - Opens in a new tab\" href=\"https:\/\/explorescientific.com\/collections\/finder-scopes\/products\/explore-scientific-hybrid-finder-scope-base\" title=\"Explore Scientific Hybrid Finder Scope Base\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHybrid Finder Scope base\u003c\/a\u003e or the Explore Scientific original finder base -- either the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca aria-label=\"standard base - Opens in a new tab\" href=\"https:\/\/explorescientific.com\/collections\/finder-scopes\/products\/finder-scope-base-with-mounting-screws\" title=\"Finder Scope Base with Mounting Screws\" target=\"_blank\"\u003estandard base\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eor the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca aria-label=\"T-shaped base - Opens in a new tab\" href=\"https:\/\/explorescientific.com\/collections\/finder-scopes\/products\/t-shaped-finder-scope-base-for-essential-series-with-mounting-screws\" title=\"T-Shaped Finder Scope Base for Essential Series with Mounting Screws\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eT-shaped base\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCA Residents: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca aria-label=\"Prop 65 WARNING(S) - Opens in a new tab\" href=\"https:\/\/explorescientificusa.com\/pages\/prop65\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProp 65 WARNING(S)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eItem Number\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003eVFEI0850–01\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eReticle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003eStandard Crosshair\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e15.9 oz\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eSize\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e216mm x 57mm x 62mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eWARRANTY:\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExplore STAR Transferable Extended Life of the Product Warranty when product is registered within 60 days of purchase. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/explorescientificusa.com\/apps\/product-registration\"\u003eClick Here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e to register.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Explore Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47497199223088,"sku":"VFEI0850-01","price":259.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3113\/5280\/files\/imgpsh_fullsize_anim_2400x2400_45e4b6ff-e766-4573-97e2-66fe83937001.jpg?v=1706142405","url":"https:\/\/b9549c-5.myshopify.com\/products\/explore-scientific-8x50-straight-through-illuminated-viewfinder-with-bracket-and-new-long-battery-life-illuminator-ii","provider":"StellarOptix","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
